“‘Injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere.’ – Martin Luther King, Jr. As a white male I am deeply offended by the CEO of Sam’s club clearly racist attitudes towards white males. My family and I will be shopping at Costco. Thank you.”
Costco, however, has a similar diversity policy.

One of my good friends growing up was a white dude, he started doing drugs and skipping school in middle school. He met a girl who he got pregnant when they were seventeen, there are three other women he has kids by, he has never been married. He never graduated high school and has never held one of his crappy jobs for very long because he doesn't always show up and is constantly flunking drug test, or his employer finds out he lied on his app and is a convicted felon. This kid has had it pretty rough.

At my last company, we had a round of layoffs. They got rid of every single middle aged white dude in my old group. :lol:

Adam Carolla likes to point out how the white man has been been slowly removed from television commercials. Or if there is one, he is always with a black person, an asian, a hispanic, etc. All races and creeds represented. The majority of those commercials the white guy plays a bumbling idiot.
I cannot unsee this now when I watch TV. It's pretty amazing, really.

This could be an interesting study on perception versus reality, because I feel like when you see a minority on a commercial is worthy of celebration, exception being for some specific products or specific programming times. Don't even get me started with same sex and interracial couples.

I know this pain. And what makes it worse is when they wont pass it to you and look absolutely stunned when you make a good play. But, they chalk it up to luck and still don't pass it to you.

We moved going into my ninth grade junior high year. first day I go out to hoop after lunch, all bruthas and me, it cracked me up because these guys thought they could ball because they were black, after abusing the best one about 5 times he got so pissed he wanted to fight, he couldn't fight either. I became good friends with most of them, the one dude never got over it but he's dead now so whatevs.

Oh well, I found a gym downtown now, that has an extra side for me to shoot around. I usually like to shoot or run a few games before lifting. This is all I got, tho!

Was with a black guy recently and we're buds and stuff, but whenever he would talk with another brother, it was like he saved all the cool ways of talking for the other black guys. Like, he wouldn't say "where do you live" when talking with a black guy, he'd say "Where you stay" and stuff like that.

I have the tendency to call black guys "man." Like, "How's it going, man?" - this qualifies as a hardship because I feel guilty about it. I'm not sure its mean but the inequality with which I say it to people makes me think its a problem.

Shame on you

I feel slightly better now that I have been properly shamed

When I last encountered MIR, he gave me a hug. I'm not sure what this means as pertaining to this thread though.

I was comforting you, life is a breeze for my people so I often give white folks sympathy/empathy hugs. I want you people to know I care.

Sadly there were no professional rent-a-mobs for the guy gunned down in Cali awhile back, just a few locals trying to protest who were quickly dispersed by police. Apparently indigenous populations are easily quelled and the pros have to be brought in to BITFD.

Can confirm I'm white and have had it extremely easy.
I guess my one complaint is that it's hard to be white and work in a diverse workplace because most other people tend to be white as well. They're working on that at my current job.

I once got pulled over for being white. The officer told me "you don't look like you belong here". I'd just moved to Tulsa. It was 11:00pm and I'd left our new downtown area. There was some road construction that caused me to miss my on-ramp to the highway. I ended up in an area where there were no other cars out except that police officer. He had me follow him back to the highway.

I'm not sure which of MIR's race threads would be best for this, so feel free to move as necessary. Our Jayhawk friends have made the news again...

Whites apparently get more food stamps than everyone else. Makes life easier, but totally unfair.

According to this awesome website, he's also 98% less likely to shoot/stab/strangle someone. #whitepriv

"but those incidents fall short of murder" really liked that line. If it's not murder, then gosh, it really doesn't matter. :thumbsup:

I sprained my ankle for the first time sunday and thought it would be better to amputate it for about an hour before I had access to ice because it was very painful and the swelling was bad. Now the bruising looks super gross and if I had more pigment it probably wouldn't be so noticeable/disgusting.
sprained ankles are a very weird injury.

My experience with them is that the next day is way worse than the day of the injury.

In my case, I had to leave the soccer field and then sit in the sun with no ice and not being able to really elevate it for about an hour until I could get a ride home and then finally take some ibuprofen and ice it, so the day of was worse, but I also iced and elevated a lot day 2.

My best friend in Chicago is a black fella and a couple years ago he started getting white splotches all over his arm where his skin would basically lose pigment. It freaked him out a ton because he thought it was going to happen to his face and hands and stuff (which it sometimes does). It didn't though -- just some spots on his arms stuck to his arms.
Anyway he was really afraid of that. So I guess take solace in the fact that while your grotesque bruised ankle is a tough thing in this society, at least it's temporary.

In my experience, the worst thing about sprained ankles is you have to be really careful for a long time after it heals or it will easily happen again.

This is actually pretty common for black people

Not uncommon in white people either, just less noticeable.

Common enough for my bro to understand what was happening to him and be terrified that it was going to get really bad.

Yeah Vitiligo is not unique to black people (my mom has it on her arms), but it was made famous by a black guy (Micheal Jackson).

it was made famous by ayome "paco" may, mrs. squawk.

My wife and mil both have vitiligo and they're white as the driven snow. Paco May, Michael Jackson, and my cousin Reggie are the only black folks I know with vitiligo.
And bad news for your friend y-l-a but vitiligo is for life, he will have some times when it will come in and some times when.it won't. It can be dormant for years then he'll start getting spots again for no rhyme or reason.

When I was in Florida I met a man that had vitiligo. It was just on his eyelids and around his mouth. From afar, I thought it was makeup.

Is that what Sammy Sosa got, or was that just steroid side effects?

You know 2 white people and 3 black people with Vitiligo. Using this evidence, I would say black people are 50% more likely to get it.
I heard that it usually skips a generation but your evidence is not suggesting that. :runaway:

Top notch science going on ITT.

I know a much higher percentage of black people in America than white people. I think I know roughly 79% of all black people that live between the Mississippi River and the Sierra Nevadas and 93% of them us New England, so three is pretty low.

I know a black guy with it, was a custodian at my mom's old school. Kept trying to get my mom to join his church. She always told him she'd burst into flames if she walked in. He laughed at that. Frank was his name. Wore a newsboy cap and aviators all the time. Drove a Mercedes. He started wearing white gloves over his hands as it progressed.
